About our shower tray repair in Bigbury-on-Sea

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Bigbury-on-Sea

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bigbury-on-Sea

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Bigbury-on-Sea and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bigbury-on-Sea?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common problems we fix in Bigbury-on-Sea

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.
